Acute and Recurrent Central Serous Chorioretinopathy: Signs, Diagnosis, and Treatment

Acute central serous chorioretinopathy is an idiopathic disease characterized with a well-bordered neurosensorial retinal detachment localized mostly to posterior pole. Though mostly having a benign clinical course, there can be recurrences and chronicity in the long run. Its pathogenesis remains to be obscure but choriodal hyper permeability and a defect through the retinal pigment epithelium can be the cause. No treatment is generally required in patients with acute type of disease. However, medical therapy, thermal laser, photodynamic therapy, intravitreal injections and subthreshold laser can be administered in some patients.
